Makes you wonder if they weren't selling on the lot. I ordered my 2009 3.0 with saddle brown (and mineral green exterior) before they took the color off the Web site. Strange. Perhaps they just wanted to offer some incentives/exclusives to get people to order cars (they are less apt to haggle fiercely, I imagine, than for cars on the dealers' lots).

Anyway, I really like the color in my X. Not too light (we have a 5 wagon with grey leather) and not too dark (we came from a 330i that had black). The floors, mats, dash, and lower portions of the doors are black, so that hides normal wear and tear dirt.
